Heather Cohen writes an extremely interesting blog that communicates scientific research to the public. She doesn’t dumb down the science like some of the other “news” sources, but she makes it simple enough for anybody to understand!

If you support increasing the public’s understanding of science, then you should vote for Heather Cohen!
